Hi guys,
This is an A1 router running on 1.08. I have a 1Gbps internet line. When connecting from my PC or a laptop (wired) directly to the modem, speedtests return the expected speed. However, whilst connecting through the router, again wired and with the WAN limits set to 1000 each, speedtests seem to cap out at about just over 500mbps.
Is there a setting that I'm missing? This is with default factory settings, and the only thing I've changed so far is the WAN bandwidth limits, along with WiFi SSID, etc.
Another smaller issue is that the iPhone6+ with it's 802.11ac is supposed to be able to get connections of up to 280mbps. However, standing right next to the router, it seems to cap out at 200mbps. Is there yet another setting that I haven't quite got right?
The router is mounted on a wall, not next to anything else. Gotta say I came back to DLink for sentimental reasons, and I'm a bit disappointed that a top range router doesn't seem to work quite right out of the box.
Thanks lots! :)
p.s. My PS4 only seems to connect at about 30Mbps over WiFi.
edit: Very odd. Immediately after posting this, I did the tests again. My PC is going at max speed now, and my phone now seems to be capped at 50mbps.
